Continuing from yesterday’s episode – Aurélie continues what in culture is just so important.
While she talks about the various aspects of culture that could be appealling, I think it’s important to play to your strengths. Go after the areas that you’re interested in to begin with. If you love travel, dive into that world – in French that’d be road trips and Gites and what French like to do when they travel. My understanding is soak it in, the life of a new area. When I was learning Chinese, in my 20s mind you, I used drinking culture as a way in. I could talk about beers and super strong baijius with the best of them. It was fun, and a way into learning about the culture and improving the language.
I’m no expert, but that’s my suggestionf or any language. Find something that interests you in the culture and dive in there. What’s my focus for French? I don’t know yet. I love art, joie de vivre and everything that impressionism stands for – a reaction to realism from photography. That’s why I chose this episode. I also love eating, so maybe in time I’ll dive into pâtisserie or food related culture in some way. Time will tell.
Again, I stand by it. I agree with Aurélie, it’s about the culture.
